In 2020, Henry Zankov launched his eponymous label with the desire to infuse knitwear with a playful, innovative spirit. His Fall/Winter 2024 collection entitled
“Hold Me Closer” epitomizes sensuality through opulent textures, daring color combinations, and luxurious silhouettes, inviting tactile exploration.
“I moved back to New York City just over a year ago. Upon my return what touched me the most was that I felt an immediate embrace. Reconnecting with the city’s energizing and imposing personality and slipping ever so gently into its unmistakable nonchalance. It all felt like a big hug. An embrace full of gusto,” Zankov explained in the collection’s notes. “This collection is all about coming into contact with that feeling. The feeling of the desire to be held and cherished, to touch and be touched. Not wanting to let go.”
Floor-length knits, oversized scarves, tailored wool trousers, and cut-away scarf coats in nature-inspired hues like lava red, pistachio, and sky blue mingle with butter yellow and ruby tones. For Zankov, knitwear is a cherished heirloom, blending tradition with innovation in a captivating synthesis.
